Schools for our community. A community for our schools.

The Buffalo Promise Neighborhood Community Affairs program was born through a desire to help in development and facilitation of a sustainable contingent of residents, school officials, faith based leaders, block club members, business owners, not-for-profit community organizations and elected officials that work together to continue to build and create a vibrant, safe neighborhood and community for all.

WellnessIn an initiative to improve access to healthy food in the neighborhood, BPN has partnered with African Heritage Food Cooperative (AHFC) to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to the community. We have also partnered with area delis and corner stores to ensure they have fresh fruits and vegetables available on site.

EngagementBlock Clubs are an important part of the community. Our neighborhood will be steeped in pride, and engaged to address the needs of the area.

Another important part of community engagement is the established community council, which has empowered residents to move into shareholder and stakeholder positions through active membership, as well as an executive board (pictured top left).

Through a partnership with Belmont Housing, 10 homes in the 14215 zip code were renovated
